lyrics

1.
Well I dreamt I saw the realm of stars
It was 1000 away
In a strange and familiar place.

I saw souls in line for miles and miles
They were, waiting their names
Called by their wanted place.

I saw those eyes,
As black as mine.

I was running from the corners of heaven
I was running past the front of the line
I was keeping my lover careful
Cause I know I need a little more time.

2.
Well I’m a woman good with wanderlust
And a ticket for space, take me
To any music making place.

I’ve no time for bartering sacrifice
Or Mother Mary grace
No denying this heart of mine.

They say, “There’s time…”
“You can wait”….

Are you waiting in the corner of heaven?
Are you waiting at the front of the line?
Are you losing your turn, your patience?
Are you waiting for my reply?

3.
Off the subway back from Bloor and Jane
I was walking past the Village train
When I saw a face.
That dark familiar gaze.

She was dancing like a marionette
to a window display, I can’t forget
And my heart began to race.
My heart began to race.

Who’s this child, saying my name?
Can I deny this,
and post-pone this life away?

I’ll come find you in the corner of heaven
I’ll come put you at the front of the line
I will let my lover be careless
Cause I know you’re waiting to be mine.

Don’t worry baby!
I’m coming baby!
